The attendance of delegates from

aud certainly was something Of
which tile people of Amite county
have reason to be proud. 1t was
composed Of the most substantial

are the recognized hope Of the
future prosperity Of our county

interests, and upon whom rest the
burden of State III peace and ~

its government, point its destiny
and shape its ends. This organI-
zatlon is a power in the land. and
car make themselves felt III every
department of government, and
IN every branch of business or in-
dustry in ill this broad land, yet
it IS their intention to exert that
power only for the common veal
of the country. But, having 70
bear the burdens of government
as the farmers do, they will in
the future demand of it ample
protection for all the interests Of
the farmers. Forrshadowing the
p1llcy of the Farmers Alliance,
and with the view Of inforr.rng all
whom it may concern as to what
they intend to accomplish in the
future, the County Alliance at

our ESTIMATE or OURSELVES.

We arc someLlmes, IN he course
OF our lives, confronted with the
popular opinion with regard to
ourselves, that may shock US into
the realization cf the fact that we
are not such prominent objects in
the ror,d as we have supposed.
That jolly ne'er-do-well, Rip Van
Wipklc, although protesting to
understand his wolthlessness
towards his family and his native
place, was yet almost hearl,brokcn
when awaking from his long sleep
he returned 10 lind Gretchen had
tried to console herself by another
marriage, and that his townsmen
regarded his memory lightly.
Poor Rip, it would seem, hal
cherished better opinion OF
himself than one would have
supposed, who heard his repeated
confessions of lis mistakes and
weakness. Aud isit MT true of
these who seem most careless Of
their reputation. liiat there is this
secret belief OF hope that the world,
after all. may put good value
upon their chlractrrs!

,SlS6IPPI. SATURDAY, DECEMBER q. Is87.

pow-wow last week 1T the meet
ing Of the Republican National
COMMITTEES in this city, many
statesmen of national rcnoWn
being present, several of whom
made speeches. One admission,
inadvertently made by Ex-senator
Window, &c Minnesota, is worth
quoting. lie said that If The DEM
ocrats were successful nest year,
Tic Democracy would pfohably
continue in power fifteen ort~en,y
years. Most Democrats endorse
this prognostication.
Those who had expected 10
witness exciting or sensational
scencs ut The organization Of the
Firticth or Cen'cnniai Congress,
were greatly disappointed, as here
was nothing unusual, except a
harmless outbreak from u religious
crank in the gallery, who aroused
the risibilities Of the vast throng
BY singing The doxology IN 4
dol ful solo. Ia both tho Senate
ard House there seemed to have
fallen showers Of fragrant and
radinnt flowers, fresh from rosy
gardens OF bloom aud beauty. 1t
was a pleasant sight to see the
beaning faces Of the favored
statesmen rs they gratefully smil-
ed over the gifts of admimng
friends. But very many Of the
veteran Congressman were sad
dcncd as they sought in vain for
the familiar countenanees Of num-
bers of their late colleagues,
whose pubic careers had ended,
mt least temporarily. Among
the missing were l25 from the
Ifouse-two thirds Of the chair
men 0f committees being included
IN the list. Those conspicuous
for absence in tie House were
Morrison, Lowering, Warner
Wellborn, B'agg. and Rarksdale'
and from tho Senate Camden
Naxey, Malone, Conger, and
"Woodpulp" Miller
Last week only brief sessions D
Congress were held, and litil'
real work can be done until th,
committees are appointed, th'
